Christos Nikolis
Christos Nikolis is a conceptual photographer from Athens, Greece. His work explores life nowadays and the implications on human beings.
His story-telling photographs address serious questions through a blend of invention, surprise, and humor. He interacts with reality with a sense of paradox by reforming the photographic act through conflicting raw content and deep affectivity. The photographs balance very often between utopia and dystopia, with no Deus ex machina to be appeared. His emphasis on careful composition, as well as his subject matter, reflects his will to invest in the power of art and visual culture.
In the early beginning, he focused on scientific documentation photography, mainly in the fields of Archeology but also Physics, Biology, and Electronic Microscopes in collaboration with Universities and Research Centers. His work has been published in several scientific books and journals and also has been exhibited on numerous occasions in Greece. He was inspired and led the project "Click it - Capture Diversity and Inclusion" that was awarded by the Corporate Affairs Excellence Awards 2019.
